From 605bfaee9078cd0b01d83402315389839ee4bb5c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Thu, 26 Nov 2009 05:35:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] hw-breakpoints: Simplify error handling in breakpoint creation requests This simplifies the error handling when we create a breakpoint. We don't need to check the NULL return value corner case anymore since we have improved perf_event_create_kernel_counter() to always return an error code in the failure case.
